COMMENTS: Very little positive to say about tonight's game. Saunders is the Angels' ace, leading the team with 11 wins. Park, while performing admirably in any role the Dodgers have requested of him, doesn't look likely to beat the Angels, having lasted fewer than five innings in each of his previous starts. The Angels have a 2-1 record against the Dodgers this year, including Saunders already beating the Dodgers once. Want more gloom and doom? The Dodgers also face Jered Weaver and John Lackey in this series. Enjoy your weekend!

Erin, all tht time in Chi-town is making you crazy in the head. 2.5 game lead? No way. I'll still root for the good guys, but come on. We're playing the first-place Angels, with a competent manager who wouldn't insist on playing a .100 PH.

Dodgers get another gift when Berroa's hit strikes the third base line for a double. Then, following the Sweeney K, another gift when Pierre Ks but reaches on a passed ball. But Kemp comes up and promptly forces Pierre at second.

The biggest beer company sponsors 7 of the 8 venezuelan winter baseball teams and beer is cheap (though some people complain). In Maracaibo, a can costs around 2,50, that's like 80-90 cents in official exchange.
